Neither of us is really right or wrong, it's just that we have very different approaches

You are definitely right. Lots of roads to victory. That makes it a great game.

Hey! I checked that 7 armor thing. It works quite well. Thanks for the tip! You're the man!

The only drawback to using armour to safeguard your ships is the research cost. It is going to run you about 200,000 research points before you can send a colony ship through the wormhole without getting damaged. On the other hand, in six turns, you can build three colony ships. Odds are extremely good that one of them will make it through the wormhole without losing the colonization module. Once one gets through, you can colonize a planet in that system and build a planetary space yard to repair the others. Then, you can use this base to expand your empire throughout the rest of the galaxy.
